Default saddle bags
I don't know if this is the write forum but I'll give it a shot. I'd like to put RoadKing Classic Leather Saddlebags on my Softail Standard. Can this be done? Michael

I would think it would be kinda expensive to get all the pieces and figure out where/how to install the mounting brackets on your scoot which does not have the same fender bracing. You might try searching aftermarket. I have seen some very nice gags that resemble RKC bags from aftermarket sources. In almost every issue of "American Iron" mag there are ads for a variety of bags for every model Harley. Once you get bags you'll like the ability to carry all kinds of chit!!
